ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Snow and ice are reported on roads in southwestern New York as a winter storm tracks east and is expected to bring several inches of snow before tapering off with freezing drizzle during the evening.

Some schools are closed or delaying opening Monday morning ahead of the storm.

The National Weather Service says eastern and central New York can expect from 1 to 4 inches of snow topped with a thin coat of ice as the front moves from the southwest to northeast by late morning. Forecasters say snow totals could reach 3 to 6 inches in the Adirondacks.

Less than an inch of snow was expected in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area, with a couple of inches forecast for around Rochester and 3 to 5 inches east of Lake Ontario.
